Exodus 23:10-12

Good News Translation

The Seventh Year and the Seventh Day

^10 (A)“For six years plant your land and gather in what it produces. ¹¹ But in the seventh year let it rest, and do not harvest anything that grows on it. The poor may eat what grows there, and the wild animals can have what is left. Do the same with your vineyards and your olive trees.

^12 (B)“Work six days a week, but do no work on the seventh day, so that your slaves and the foreigners who work for you and even your animals can rest.
